Our experience on this visit was incredible. We were also very lucky to go at 8:30, it was very quiet. The guide Monica was sensational, the whole tour in Portuguese was very good, I had already visited 20 years ago with an Italian guide, and although I understood a little, this visit was much better. Precise timetable, easy meeting point. Thank you very much :blush:

Ticket procedure was easy to follow and there were plenty of people to point you in the right direction. It was busy but we didn't feel rushed and were able to fully enjoy the different levels at the Colosseum. Palatine Hill was lovely and the view from the top was amazing. Highly recommend.

Very good experience, although it is difficult to pick up the tickets in another sector than directly at the coliseum.

The glory of the Colosseum

The Colosseum is one of Italy’s most popular destinations. Believed to have been constructed as a gift from the ancient emperors to the Roman people, this grand outdoor amphitheater once served as an epicenter for entertainment, hosting various public spectacles and games. A stage for gladiator fights, often including animals, the Colosseum has quite the bloody past. Step back in time, marvel at the impressive architecture, and walk the floor of the greatest arena known to mankind.

Marvel at the Roman Forum & Palatine Hill

Your Colosseum ticket also includes entry to the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum. Head to the Roman Forum and travel back in time as you walk along the same paths as the ancient Romans did. You’ll get a chance to witness popular sites including the Temple of Antoninus Pius, Temple of Castor and Pollux, Temple of Saturn, Arch of Septimius Severus, and much more.

Palatine Hill offers one of the best views of the city. Here, the lush Farnese Gardens offer a peaceful escape from the crowds. Relax amidst manicured terraces, statues, and panoramic views of the Roman Forum and Colosseum. Once considered the most desirable neighborhood in Rome, Palatine Hill lives on as an extensive archaeological site and was the chosen spot for Emperors to build their homes. To enhance your experience, you can step into the walls of the Mamertine Prison with a ticket upgrade, and learn about the foes of Rome once imprisoned here.
